The problem with that is I would bet good money,is the mounting holes won't match up,and on that drum,you DON'T want extra holes.That leaves you with three options.
Don't play the drum again,have someone or yourself make an adatper plate or get an original replacement.The last option gets my vote.You could search Ebay or the various vintage drum dealers or.......Visit the Vintage Drum Forum.A member there ..Dolfan is considered the leading Camco experts in the country,and would have a line on a replacement or could recomend if a repair is possible .Member Purdie Shuffle is also a really knowledgeable Camco guy.
Have hope.It may cost you but it's worth it to keep that drum in original condition,and now you know where to look for help..

You may already know this, but i didn't see it in the thread anywhere so i'll just say it! It's typically called a throwoff, just in case that keyword will help your search

Strainer is also an accepted term.This also accurately describes what the piece of hardware really does.When a spring expands or contracts it is said to be under "strain".Since snares are basicly wires,this is just as accurate as throw off.Most drum companys also refer to this mechanism as a strainer.The term has been in use as early as 1898 relating to the Boulanger snare drum and actually earlier.The terms are interchangeable today,as a keyword search will confirm.

Call Donn Bennett Drum Studios in Bellevue Washington. They used to have a lot of Camco parts, they may still have them. The original Camco/George Way parts are NOT cheap.
